The Passing Quilt

The Needlers lost one of its own.

Miss Wanda

 

 

 

I remember well when Miss Wanda moved into the apartments where I lived at the time, she was my next-door neighbor and that was the first thing she said to me
"Hi Neighbor."  

As you might guess, being an older person she had her share of health issues and certainly many life events, but she was always so positive.  And funny stories! 
She was full of them!  She made us Needlers laugh a lot!

 

In the Needlers' sewing room

Taco Tuesday in Wanda's new, small place.  I believe that was our last Needlers face-to-face gathering that included
Miss Wanda, right before the "Lock Down."  But, even during Covid, we'd text and I'd drive over and visit with her through the fence.  There are just some people who enter your life and you're friends forever.

I happened upon this story a while back:  The Passing Quilt HERE 

This is a nice piece, but get a tissue before reading it.

Come to think of it, when my dad passed just a month-or-so ago the funeral home people come to take him, and they DID have a quilt to cover him!  I didn't think of it at the time but now I'm so grateful that in his last journey he was covered with a little splash of beauty.  One last hug.

Miss Wanda, you'll always be in my heart and you'll always be working on a quilt.
